r/Erasmus

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to go on this Erasmus semester for a year.
Why I say “trying”? Because the first time I got rejected (very strange) and so I went to my university Erasmus event and talked to my coordinator and another person responsible for the process. Then I applied the next time and got nominated.

I’m an international student in Germany and I have been nominated for an Erasmus in Gothenburg.

The Erasmus grant will be only 2000 € for the whole 6 months. I already have some savings but my partner who already lives in Sweden says that it’s highly likely that you won’t be able to make it and you probably will need to ask for financial help from me or your dad.

He is probably right. However my plan was to work a part time job while I’m there.

I’m aware of Sweden’s unemployment rate and all the stuff but is it really impossible to find a job?
I’m currently working in Germany and saving money but I really want (and like) to work there as well.

What do you think?
What has been your experience in Gothenburg or any other Swedish city?
I would appreciate your opinions and suggestions.

I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to go all by myself with Erasmus in Spain. I’ve been in the States with work and travel 3 times but with at least one friend. I guess it’s going to be different this time since i’m going to stay longer and also I do not speak spanish. What do you guys suggest ?

Hi guys,
Due to being a chronic procrastinator I missed the Erasmus sign-up deadline at my uni, meaning that the earliest I could go on a semester abroad is in 12 months time. I'd really like to leave my city earlier than that though, and go and live in an international collective of students. (I only need to go back for exams)

I've heard there are long (months) ESC projects... how do those work? Are there any other alternatives you know of that are close to the Erasmus experience?

Hi !! After sending a lot of emails i have received some offers, one is for the University of Poznan at the Career office doing webinars and workshops to help students with their empleability and the other offer is for the Lodz university but i dont know the tasks yet, Which city could be better? I have to arrange an online meeteing yet to discuss the expectations but idk what to ask for. I would like to read some experiences of people on these citys. Thanks !!!
